Kadokawa announced that "Hotondoshindeiru Uncle from Another World" (Isekai Ojisan) manga will inspire a TV anime. Further details such as staff and broadcast schedule are currently unavailable.
The manga has been serialized on KADOKAWA's Comic Walker website since June 2018, and the sixth volume is set to release on June 23, 2021. The total number of printed copies has exceeded 1.5 million. The English edition is licensed by Yen Press, and the synopsis of the first volume, which will be released on June 8, 2021, is described as follows.
Seventeen years ago, Takafumi's uncle fell into a coma—but now he's back, like a man risen from the grave. Soon, Takafumi discovers two bizarre things: His uncle values video games above all else, and during his coma, he was actually transported to another world as a kind of heroic guardian! Now, Takafumi must not only live with an uncle who's literally magical, but also catch him up on two decades of history—smartphones, high-speed internet, modern anime tropes... and the traumatic outcome of the '90s console wars!
